Because Boston was already there
Boras strikes again
He’s not worth it
Yankees are idiots if they’re serious.
You can get a bunch of damn good players for that price.
That’s insanity. No way he’s worth anywhere close to Ohtani.
This is ruining the game of baseball. He’s good but not to that extent and at least Ohtani pitches and hits 50HRs to warrant his $700M.
Get ready for the strike when the CBA expires.
That’s actually insane. That’s way too much money to be tied up in someone who’s only above average skill is his bat.
Why not a billion? Higher…higher…higher
If you’re paying $700M you’re paying $750. I think the $800M rumors is when we see this wind up. At that point someone taps out and we see it wind up near $750M.
The volume of top tier players you can get for that amount of money is ridiculous. It’s a waste to spend it on one guy who is just an elite hitter.
Why???? Has baseball fallen so much that a good (not generational) bat with no defense makes you so expensive? He’s still, somehow, riding prospect hype. He had a good year at the plate, but those aren’t any kind of all-time numbers.
he is either going to the METS or to the Jays they currently have the higher bids
As a Dodger fan, I’m loving this.
Let’s gooooooooooooooo! Keep him off the Dodgers roster.
Are professional sports reaching a tipping point I feel like contracts are out of control
RE comparisons to the Ohtani contract, remember that Soto JUST turned 26.
Way too much money for a glorified DH
They need to show they can beat Ohtani’s contract regardless of what Sotto can contribute to whatever team he joins.
The Mets are just going after the Yanks. Old George would never lose a superstar he traded for with the intent to keep. The Mets are challenging the Bronx str8 up.
Stupid not worth it
Would be hilarious if no team signed him and he has to take a 1 year deal. Yes, I know that will never happen. These numbers are ridiculous. Amazing hitter, but a liability in the field.
Insane to pay that for a below average defender who can barely play a corner outfield spot and has a weak arm.
What a world we live in
This guy is such a tease
I hope Boston or one of the New York teams get him now, the amount is crazy on one player if you don’t have a decent lineup to field it’s a complete waste of money.
This is ridiculous we may be looking at $800 million for soto and he is below average in the field great hitter but he’s not the next Babe Ruth Otani is that I’m a mets fan but how much more do we give to sign one guy when we can do a ton more starter rotation Pete trades this needs to get done already because this is nuts.
